My hp pavilion dv2000 will not boot up. the

Hello jorel, most likely its a failure of the system board particularly the charging section, a broken pin or a loose terminal. work will be internal, suggest you do away with the battery. its better to operate it at home, or bring the charger with you. Maybe its time to get a new one.

Boot laptop with no memory installed should give seris of beeps to clear memory,next remove battery install mem if it boots ok battery hanging up laptop if not plug in mem one at a time to see if one is bad.

Hi

Thank you for your query

Please try the folowing

1) Remove ALL wires and then press and hold the power button in for approx 20 seconds

2) Plug everything back in and then rerty

This may sort the issue out however from what you are descrbing, if there is no boot or display it is highly likely the motherboard and/or the CPU is faulty

I would recommend that you book the PC into a reputable PC repair shop if the above does not work

If this has been useful please leave postive feedback/vote/testimonial - Thank You Again

Hi i'm Rain.
Remove the battery and plug it into a wall outlet. now try booting up your unit. if this works you will need to replace your battery.

it could be dead mobo, it's actually the most probable cause of your problem, but there is this thing i've encountered with HP several times already. i know it's a long shot, but i'd like you to try and boot the laptop up after you've removed the DVD-drive. if this works, it's the DVD-drive that's broken, if not, it'll be the mobo...

Remove yoru battery off and try powering on with the power cable plugged in.

Your could not be booting for several reasons anything from faulty RAM to software issues. Since you cannot boot to any type of working screen you will need to use the operating disc with XP or Vista on it. Put it in the CD-ROM and reboot. Let it run for a while and it will eventually ask you to install or repair. I would try repair first as if you install then you will lose all of your data, docs, favorites, pic, etc. if you have any questions let me know.

hi,
i m in Hong Kong. The stupid HP repair center charged US 90 just for inspection!!!!! They they said the whole motherboard had to be replaced, thts additional US 630 dollars, the thing is just 1.5 yr old. They also said i don get to keep the broken mother board after replacement. This is simply irresponsible, unethical, sleazy and UNJUST!!

Thanks. right now the computer is fixed for US70. when i hv time, i'll open it up and see if i can figure it out how it was fixed. The shop suggested tht the computer wont last too long. This is such bad quality for HP... Sorry, i hv to do the following for other victims to find this easily:
(can some creative netizen bring this to the public light to pressure HP to do the ethical things??)
